troleuse Of the streets to the dashing
Aspasias of the boudoirs and the Bots,
is, according to the best social author
tiles, to be traced partly to the decline
in their ignoble earnings, and partly to
their desire to kill time, which hangs
heavily on their hands. We are far
from the dazzling females described by
the younger Dumas in the "Lady of the
Camelias," who, like Anna Deslions,
literally flung their gold away to show
that they despised it, and who, when
playing, were absolutely Indifferent to
their gains or losses. Nowadays the
frail denizens of the QUARTER Breda
and the Quarter de lEurope play
methodically and with vengeance. n
the same way they gamble on the turf,
and it is even complained by their
admirers that they sink their passion
for dress and appear, contrary to all
the canons of Partisan millinery, in
slovenly waterproofs and ill-ftting
boots on the Pclouse of Longchamps
or Chantilly, so absorbed are they IN
their betting speculations.-Londoaa

Gambling HeIls in Paris.

The Paris gambling bells are rather
busy just now, more particularly those
in which women play. A police in
spector and his men made two swoors
on q recent evening. In one place in
the Rue de Ia Terrassee fifteen females
were playing with all their might when
the agents of the law entered the room
and seized sum Of about $3.50 which
was on the table, as we'll as the roulette
and the dice. A less important seizure
was effected in house in the Rue de
Jaquemont, where eighteen females Of
the fashionable cocotte type were at the
tables. One of them remarked to the
police that she wished they had put in
an appearance on the night before, as
they might have hindered her from
losing an Insignificant matter of 1900
or thereabout. In this place about e15
was seized. the women having had time
to thrust good deal OF the gold and
bank notes in their pockets. The pro-
prietresses Of the hells were arrested,
the others being allowed to go away.

Musicn! Mexican Bells.

In the large tower hangs the monster
bell, which is rarely sounded. but there
are many others of moderate size which
are continually chiming. All these
bells, and indeed nearly all the bells in
the republic, are remarkable for sweet
ness and softness Of tone. 1t is very
rarely that one hears harsh bell.
They are exceedingly melodious and
pleasing It is sometimes explained
that this is due to the mixture of silver
in the bell-metal, and that the new
bells are cast from old metal L be-
lieye that the chief reason why the
Nexican bells are so much more musi-
cal than ours is that the Mexicnn bells
are artistically made, shaped with
reference to tone, thin at the edge.

The Creditor.

"Creditors will probably be able to

quently the conclusion of an item in
the newspapers announcing the failure
Of some business house, OF the flight of

in following the occupation of creditor,
fattering themselves, no doubt, with
the delusive adage, there's room enough
on top. But they are never on top. It
is the other fellow who is on top while
they go under.
a creditor is frequently the very last
person that q man thinks of paying.
He will spend his money for all sorts Of
useless things and for all manner of
questionable purposes; he will pay his
tailor, when he refuses to deliver the
clothes without cash in hand and settle
all bar bills at once, where the slate is
broken, bnt the creditor is one who
never troubles his thoughts.
If we knew q young man who was
hesitating what business to adopt,
while trying to stand Off his last months

except being creditor. There is no
profession SO trying to the temper OF SO

the most Of it.
We never heard of but one bankrupt
who was real solicitous about his cred

kentOn.

Kenton was no longer royal seat at
the time Of the Conquest. 1t belonged
to the Kings thane, Ulward Witt, who
perhaps kept a stud farm there and
watched the mares and foals as they
cantered over the soft heritage. Pres
emily there was an end OF Ulward, per-
haps at Hastings fight, perhaps as an
exile and in some foreign broil. Any
how, q Norman Earl ruled in his stead,
no other than Robert of Mortain. of
yhom and Of his son William readers
Mr.. Freeman's histories will have
a,rd enough. That son rebelled
.,gainst the Conqueror's son Henry, and
in that rebellion lost all his English
lordships, and among them the Manor
of Kenton.
The site was pleasing then, as it is
now. On one side flowed gentle
stream, borlered by willows and osiers,
where often heron might be flushed
and hawk might find its quarry. To
the south the demesnc was bounded by
that famous river, the Thamesis, full Of
all manner OF fish and furrowed by
barges with their huge sails, that
brought thewines of Gascony or the rich
stuffs of Cyprus to the very gateway of
this noble dwelling. To the north
stretched the great forest of Middlesex,
Astounding in wild game. There is Just
morsel left of the old forest at Little
ton, between Kenton and Ashford,
where everything looks wild and saw
age as if the land had been untouched
since the Conquest and where the
comics frisk about in droves.
Here was dwelling fit for the King,
and the King himself being of that
opinion, he took it into his own hands
and made royal palace of it. And here
the Court came at intervals-such a
tran as may eimagined, with it's CLEAN
Of gold and steel among the wild wood
land glades, with the blare of horns,
and the cry Of dogs, and the clatter of
all the strange, outlandish tongues of
those who followed the royal train.
And yet it was hardly stranger sight,
and perhaps not more brilliant spec
tacle, than kenton after long ages Of a
tranquil repose may witness on any
racing day. What crowds; what strange
tongues: what unintelligible cries: what
noble horses; beautiful women; SPLEEN
did equipages; what sooth-sayers,
mountebanks, jugglers; what crowds
of loyal subjects OF King Sport!-AU

And the flag of Ireland fioated. bravely

From the Senate, from the Castle. from the

Then patriot, power and charity, like sisters

Gave comfort to the gallant race who sentfn-

Then mutual trust and righteous laws, ana

Gave equal rights and proper rank to pea

No children pining, dying, while the rioh de-

No frantic outcasts cursed their lord, the

No prisons reared their hideous courts, In

Fierce lighting IN Cne SCreelS OI Del
fast on January 20 has inspired the
timid with fears of a repetition Of the
bloody scenes enacted last year. In
tense excitement prevailed last night,
for the most alarming rumors were cur
rent as to the extent of the rioting.
One report was that the police poured
volleys on the fighting mob, killing
thirty persons and wounding more or
less seriously more than one hundred
others. Fortunately the story had lit
tie or no foundation. 1t was learned
at midnight that nobody had been
killed, and that quiet was restored.
Still no one knows what may happen.
The history of previous riots in. this
city shows that when once the blood OF
the factions is up there is no telling
how much of it will be let before order
is restored. Last year it was thought
several times that peace had been es-
tablished, only to find rioting renewed
the next day with increased vigor.

landlady, Mrs. Adair, for a reduction of
their judicial rents. The judicial rents
are about 9s. Sd. in the pound lower than
previous rents. The tenantry did not
ask for definite reduction, but only
such as would be warranted by the de-

Mrs. Adair has replied that she will
give reduction of 3s. in the pound on
the judicial rents. This conslderate

before the reduction was asked. The
